11/12/07"Lehi taught his son Jacob, saying: 'Wherefore,
men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them
which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and
eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose
captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the
devil; for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto
himself' (2
Nephi 2:27).

"Undoubtedly,
freedom and eternal life are what we seek. We tremble at the very
thought of dying and being captives of the devil.

"Nephi
taught us clearly what we ought to do. He said, 'For we know that it
is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do' (2
Nephi 25:23)." - Claudio D. Zivic, "After
All We Can Do," General Conference, 7 October 2007

4/17/14The day will come in which we
shall again meet up with our Redeemer and Savior, Jesus Christ. I
plead that on that sacred and sublime occasion we can recognize
Him because of the knowledge we have of Him and because of having
followed His teachings. He will show us the marks in His hands and
feet, and we will join together in a lasting embrace, weeping for
joy at having followed His way. - Claudio

Not Take the Wrong Way,” Ensign (CR) May 2014
